desires some sort of compact equipment with which he can
possibly eliminate CASTRO; however, CIA keeps offering

him only large, bulky, unserviceable material,

According to [terEDINO] there is now under discussiod }§)(A]
Some plan to kill FIDE STRO, in which CUBELA will figure, '
CIA allegedly was formerly in favor of such a plan; however,
inasmuch as Attorney General ROBERT KENNEDY would have no

part of it, it was shelved, Now the plan has allegedly been
brought up again for consideration. President JOHNSON
allegedly is aware of it, and has not ruled against it.

If set in motion, it will be scheduled to occur sometime

before the elections in November,

[TEPEDINO)told the informant he has not been abid gf Uy
to learn much more concerning this plan, other than that ;
CUBELA is supposed to participate, that it is to be
accomplished by men in Cuba,..and possibly someone from
Europe.

The above is for the information of the Bureau,

_ and is not being submitted in form suitable for disseminatio

disclosure of MM 761-s, Although questioned closely,

MM 761-S was not able to furnish any further details.
